Yep

You should spray some WD40 on it and see if it will open.

Yes, a dressmaker's hem marker/pinner. You put the pins into the cloth thru the notches, then open the arm, and move along....

No Fair, I knew that. I remember my Grandma. Mom and aunts using that to hem dresses when we were kids...One would stand on a small table or stool and they pinned the dress up...

Is it used to hold a calf or bull?
The ends looks like what we use to put in their noses to hold them if they did not have a bull ring. I am not sure how you would get them to walk up to a board and put that thing in their nose though..... We just called them nose clamps..

See it looks like these kind of..

That is exactly what the husband said was that those pieces looked like something for a bull. . but the rest of it doesn't make much sense.
